Is it made to go into the cooker? Is it just for steaming or can it be used with the pressure?

I use mine in my Instant Pot electric pressure cooker all the time and it works great. The pressure does not affect it in the least.The Oxo Pop up Steamer will not lend itself to being filled with greens such as Kale, Collards, or Turnip greens and then be easily removed from the Instant Pot without them falling all over the place. This mesh rim basket works great for steaming greens in the IP :)

"The cooker"?? It is not made for any special cooker that I know of; it's simply a steamer basket/collander.

If you are talking pressure cooker, I would not. Although it is very sturdy, pressure cookers are temperamental, so to speak. It can be used with a steamer very well . Hope this helps.

Yes, it is ok as long as the food in jars do not call for more psi than the cooker can produce. I believe the psi is 10 to 12. So if your food is calling for 10 to 12 pounds of pressure, you should not have a problem. Just be sure and let the cooker release naturally, do not use quick pressure release. Be sure and take all safety precautions to keep from harming yourself due to steam or broken jars. Good luck.

Before I bought mine, several reviews I read mentioned the steam coming out near the handle as the pressure builds. I believe there is a casual mention in the directions. This is ok. If you are getting s jet of steam from the valve, you may have the cooker too full and/or the heat too high. Be sure to only fill it to the full line inside and turn down the heat once the pressure is up. I find mine works fine below medium on my electric stove.

No. It has a plate with holes that will hold food about 1/2" above the base of the cooker bowl. The unit is unique (in my experience) in that you put water in with the rice cooker insert bowl as well as on the outside which adds steam to the rice. I have not tried steaming meats by placing them on the plate; it might work with water surrounding the cooker bowl.

I do this all the time by using the pressure cooker lid and setting it to release steam. Works great!

I'm sorry but I am unable to answer your question as I do not have a pressure cooker. I purchased this to use in a pan to poach fish and have not used it yet. Good luck.

Yes, you can use the rack in a pressure cooker. the rack encounters heat in a crock pot. Pressure should not affect the rack. Do not see any reason for not using it.Jim BiggerstaFF360 387 2697

For some recipes you'll want to quickly cool the pot to prevent over-cooking the dish. Waiting for the steam to release via the valve can add several minutes of pressure cooking you may not want. Typically you then finish the dish by cooking a few minutes longer with the top off the pot so you know exactly when it's done (e.g., rice or risotto is the right consistency).

I did not use a pressure cooker, but I think it would be OK for a small to medium pressure cooker, let's say 3-5 quarts. It is quite powerful.

While I like this unit, it is not a true pressure cooker in spite of the name. It is more of a steam cooker, so any recipes for a steam cooker should work just fine. It also makes a fine rice or shell pasta cooker. By adding flavorings and/or other ingredients you can create your own recipes. Just make sure that the added ingredients will cook safely in about the same time as it takes for the rice or pasta to cook.

I have used pressure cookers for years and don't know that I can specifically answer your question without more research....which is what I'll suggest. I have ordered replacement parts for my pressure cookers and they've always worked well. The one time I had one failed is when I crammed the cooker too full of frozen chicken and it blocked the pressure release valve. It eventually blew the pressure valve forcing me to buy another. Now it works good as new. So if the manufacturer says the valve is the right one I'd say it is the right one. You just need to bleed off that excess pressure or you'll have a lot of hot steam and grease all over your kitchen walls, ceiling and floor --- hope that helps. Bruce

If it fits and the lid closes comfortably, it is fine to use. Stainless steel inserts are best and there should some space around the pan for easy handling after it is cooked. Allow some time for cooling before attempting to remove pot. Gravy vegetables or chunky soups can be cooked directly in the pressure pan, just keep the heat at medium till pressure is reached, then set on low.

I am not sure.... It really isnt a pressure cooker. I tried to cook a piece of meat in it and it was worse than . It was more like a rock.... I use it for veggies and warm ups

The small lid can be used for steaming veggies or fish. Its not needed to prevent boil over. The bowl shaped design of the larger piece that goes on the top of the pot is designed to catch any liquid that boils up, and hold it until the heat is shut off. Then it returns back into the pot. Don't use on smaller pots. The bottom of the main piece must fit inside the lip at the top of the pot (where the lid would go, but your not using it since you're using the boil over device). The first time the device saves you from a boil over mess, you'll be glad you bought this.

I don't have a pressure cooker so I can't help you there. I have used it to lay fish on it and steam the fish. I did not want the fish in the water and it worked fine. Might want to use some pan spray so fish does not stick.
